Had time for a second lunchtime record today....

Robin Trower - "For Earth Below"
Today was record store shopping day for me. I went to 4 local record stores looking for some bargains. Here are the first 2 on my TT tonight:

Elton John - "Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player" - Didn't like it. Way too pop'y and it sounds pretty thin.....

Ry Cooder - "Bop Till You Drop" - Well, after reading about the "first" digitally recorded record since 1979, I finally bought it. They had it in the "new arrivals 5/5" bin at Plaid Room Records for $1.99. It was really clean, with no obvious scratches and even the cover was pretty great. I dropped $2 on it and I'm pretty happy about it. Sounds pretty good and I like the music.
Willie Nelson - "Willie and Family Live" - Really GREAT recording from 1979.
@big_greg  - I just listened to "City to City" a couple nights ago. I've always liked it......
Ramsey Lewis - "Wade in the Water" 1966 Cadet Record LP-774 mono

Swingin'......
@big_greg  - Good idea! I'm now spinning - Tracy Chapman - S/T

Probably haven't listened to it in a couple of years. It's a great album.
Picked up a couple of used records at my local record store today. Spinning them today...

Dave Mason - Let it Flow

Al Stewart - Time Passages
Atlanta Rhythm Section - "Champagne Jam" - MFSL  1-038 in the house! Thanks Discogs!

Thanks @slaw for bringing it back to my attention. Sounds great.
@uberwaltz  - Agreed. The Tubes live album is their best. I saw them right around the time it was recorded. It was awesome! I've seen them a couple of times since, but its not the same as as it was back in their heyday. 

It's Elton John night........

Madman Across the Water

Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
@slaw  - Hey Steve, I've never heard of the Courtney Barnett - "MTV Unplugged" record. How is it? I love Courtney Barnett! 
@confuse_upgraditis - Haven't listened to "Double Vision" in many years. I ned to pull it out and give it a spin next time I'm in a smooth mood....
Bob Welch - "French Kiss"

A guilty pleasure of mine. I've always liked it. Love the way it is recorded. 
@slaw  - I like  that Ryan Bingham album - "Mescalito". But I only own it on CD......  :~( 

Fortunately, I have a very good CD player!
@slaw  - Mom OK? Is she close by that you can run over whenever necessary?
Loverboy is on tour this summer. I only know this because The Tubes are the opening act and I'm on The Tubes mailing list.

No desire to see Loverboy, but I may buy tickets (if the tour is a go for this summer) just to see The Tubes. I hate that they are the opener and likely won't  be allotted enough time to do a full length set.

I probably would not leave before the headline act goes on stage. But if they were not good, I might leave early and beat the rush.....
